Mattresses made affordable im tom forming in washington and this is cnn 9 00 p. M. Here in new york day ten, of the Trump Hush Money Trial and ending with a false claim from the defendant that hes not being allowed to testify. The day began with prosecutors seeking additional Contempt Judgments against him, but things really heated up during the testimony. Stormy daniels and Karen Mcdougals former attorney, Keith Davidson, the prosecution played the Phone Conversation that Michael Cohen secretly recorded and cnn exclusively obtained featuring donald trump taking an active role in the Karen Mcdougal deal. Were going to bidens been talking about that and the present that it may have had on the jury throughout the program, if youre just joining us here, is that but i need to open up a company for the transfer of all of that info regarding our friend david so im going to do that right away. Id actually come up to me and ive spoken to Allen Weisselberg about how to set the whole thing up with the funding yes and its all the stuff all the stuff because here you never know where that Company Never know where hes going to be, getting . Correct. So im all over that. And i spoke to alan about it when it comes time for the financing, which will be what well, have to pay yourself getting old i got no, no check. Back with the panel joining us. Cnns laura coates, host of lark coach live at 11, also cnns kara scannell, who was in court again today. What did it out to care from the courts. I mean, i think the audio is a big thing. Were hearing Donald Trumps the voice the jury is hearing that for the first time and hearing a lot of Michael Cohens conversations because that was just one of the Audio Recordings that was played today. The other one that was played was cohen on the phone with davidson. Were counting a conversation with donald trump in which he was saying he was quoting trump is saying, i hate the fact that we did it referring to the Stormy Daniels deal well, so just interesting for the jury to hear this, these are realtime recordings, of course, trumps lawyers will push back on what it means and what he was referring to, which is really the jury hearing, both cohen referencing trump and donald trump, whos sitting in the room, but hearing him on this secretly recorded Phone Conversation, talking about this specific deal in the case as trumps lawyers have tried tried to push away from it, youll laura, how do you think these recordings played . Well, they are part of the overall jigsaw puzzle, right . You want to give a little bit for each witness. Now, one would is not gonna give you everything you ever need to prove your case, but you want to get the jerk closer and closer to the clear picture, but you also want them thinking of themselves as shady as it might be for an attorney to record a comes with his client why did you think you had to what took place before that and what took place after that to put in context exactly why you were doing that. Thatll give some additional food for thought for the jurors to understand. Is he doing it to save his skin . Or is he doing it because he believes that this person is somehow trying to be secretive about even his involvement in it. And hes trying to give some evidence down the road thats part of the overall picture is becoming increasingly clear. But Michael Cohen is not going to be the most sympathetic figure for these jurors, nor does he have to be. Where does david pecker have to be . Nor is the idea of the catch and kill until laiza details, they have to return the jury to the overarching crime that they are alleging the falsified Business Records. A lot of this is about contextualizing it and the audio is why they dont help necessarily in terms of showing cohen as somebody who should be completely trusted. It doesnt absolve trump of being open, being skeptical hello, about why someone did not trust him. When do you think Michael Cohen will be brought to the stand even Michael Cohen doesnt know. I mean, its essentially basically they tell them to be in the area at certain time and then but youve seen how the prosecution has been laying out the witnesses. They have someone really interesting like david pecker, come on the first day and then theyll bring in the people who are going to do basically custodial records because as you noted, and 8 00 8 00 hour, trumps team wont stipulate to anything. They wont say yes, our client did say that at a trump rally and 28 so they have to bring in people say this, the chain of evidence to bring in someone today to say yes, this audio is real, it is verified. Weve been able to authenticate it. And so i think thats one thing when we talk about whether a witness is believable or not, are credible or not. And Michael Cohen obviously is going to get a very tough crossexamination. We know that the audio tape brings trump closer to this, and its irrefutable. It is trumps voice on there. It is trump talking about it. Can we just talk a little bit about the tape because i am sure that jury, to hear that lets start at the beginning the the tape. They are going to hear it multiple, multiple times and im sure parsing every word. But what did Donald Trumps say there when he talks about the money he says, is the money going to be in cash . Is that something that jury is going to think . Wow, what a responsible businessman know, i mean, this i mean, i think the jury is going to think why didnt you say . Get out of my office . I mean trump is involved in this. I hope because i like a mob tape. Im and Michael Cohen certainly has adopted or i guess used to adopt that persona or it seems like a lot of people in the Trump Organization adopted that percent of saying like our friend david, i mean, all i would here this speaking in code, i mean, jeffrey, you and i were having probably the exact same thoughts at the exact same moment because it actually brings me back to the Fani Willis Proceedings and georgia where trumps lawyers tried to make a whole thing about how she paid for things in cash. And heres trump saying 130,000. He was suggesting that they pay their fair well, for 100 grand in cash. You ever want anyone is elected District Attorney . Yeah. But one is a businessman and arthur handles casual jury is sitting there and theyre just gonna be like who does that who want to paper . We have at least we have two lawyers on the panel. We have a financial person, jury. We have a finance person. It may not be in the world of business so then what what business is it that you know about where 100,000, 30,000 dollars in cash is a routine unless youre doing business in some part of the world where you my brand house closings with different kinds there are different kinds of entity. It is not so it is not organized crime when were talking about getting somebody killed. Yes. Michael cohen has embraced this on the fixer and the way he talks and the way he handled themselves but if you listen to that tape, Ladies And Gentlemen of the jury, you know what proves his guilty . Michael cohen. What does trumps eight. Okay. 130,000. But Michael Cohen, whose voice from people who i spoke to in the courtroom, they said, what came out of the tape today wasnt trumps voice where you barely hear it was Michael Cohens booming voice. In that courtroom. And i think elie said earlier theyre dirty up. Michael cohen with their own witnesses to try to like, lay the groundwork, get ready, Ladies And Gentlemen, because youre going to hear from a sleazy guy. But anderson, ive been involved with a lot of trials. Ive never had a prosecutors calling their own witnesses to dirty up their main witness. That is just not normal, to take their time to take out this thing. First of all, its not as if this is a figure who has had his voice altered throughout the course of the last several years. We dont know is identity. Michael cohen is a very known figures so much though it was a part of the conversation in terms of even Jury Selection and his are paid and who they might have known have clear where there were the case so they are aware of who it is, but to be honest, its not as if most crimes or witnessed by a bus full of nuns, there there witness by people who sometimes are comparison with the i agree. I agree with while everyone i have but i appreciate that you do. But let me ill say this. Were thinking about what i think that they are trying to do. I think theyre trying to make this jury say look, this is how things are done. This how the sausage is made. This is a shake down. Of course, a very, very wealthy man who says hes very, very wealthy, they get hit up all the time hi, im about people alleging that guy. His story and boy, do i have a story to tell you . Theyre not so much, i think painting this on the hopes that people suddenly have an epiphany about their opinion about a wellknown figure, maybe like Michael Cohen, as much as thinking, well, hold on, this is kinda how things are done. I guess if youre rich, someones got a target on your back financially, thats one of the ways so going to try to do so combine that with the idea of why youre hearing Michael Cohens voice, they want to suggest that he is a sycophant who only wanted to please. There was no intimation, there was no suggestion. You took it upon himself, but thats why the prosecution has got to make their case. It was never going to be a cake walk. But theyve got approved. This is not innuendo. Theyre going to try to present the attaboy that comes after, not is it calf no no, no, no, no, no, no. And then what happened later . Remember we heard maybe pecker. Thank you. From trump. Thank you for your help with the situations he got an image to the white house. He even sits in a room with microphones racially. Go i was getting extorted Stormy Daniels says, were going to lose leverage if he loses if he moves the presidency, we need to get my money. I want my mother i know. Correct on crossexamined on redirect by the prosecutors, it davidson miss testified to that based on the way that the crossexamination went on, redirect, he said that he wasnt quoting Stormy Daniels. He was quoting her publicist boyfriend, who was just about to give an interview saying that hes the one that was something that probably had some impact on the jury. They were italy initially heard this for the first time as though it was Stormy Daniels saying that and then a regional wasnt Stormy Daniels who said that she would lose leverage. It was in the public wavefront. Also, he published a blog or something of some kind. All right. He, he had written well, they were trying to trumps team is trying to suggest that he wrote the blog post 2011 on the dirty. Com blog that initially surfaced, this daniels trump liaison, and then they never quite got it, confirmed that he actually did work through the record. If you have a publicist was boyfriend for something called the dirty. Com im probably not a good idea not to the Extortion Theory here tonight. The one thing that was clear as all this was being negotiated is that Stormy Daniels had other options. Other people were interested in this story and they were trying to keep her from telling it publicly. And i believe she told you this in her interview that she just she didnt want it to be out there. She knew what people would say the attacks on her, the names, what would happen. And so other people could have bought the story. She could have sold it to someone else and you made that much clear if we could just talk about Michael Cohen. I know you want to make Michael Cohen out to be the worst person ever any federal jury that convicted them . Judge thats what hes exactly exactly what Buddies Errors bill for hearable, terrible, and who was it, who hired Michael Cohen year after year to work for him . I have represented guys who worked i assist to the president of American Express the assistant to the president of American Express, american spreads seems to be a pretty prestigious thing. Does the president know what they are direct underlings of in that particular case . Absolutely. Michael cohen has donald trump has no idea what my nose is. A tape is going come out where trump says, you handle it, you just deal with this because thats what you do when youre running for president , when youre a billionaire, when you are the president , you delegate and the defense here, your icloud, your hypothesis is that Michael Cohen was excellent most of the time but suddenly said he wasnt youre saying youre saying trump didnt know that he was corrupted we just played the tape. Were with trump really involved he and also david pecker has already testified and a photo was shown in court of him walking past the rose garden, but we know the conversation was trumps saying, hows our girl qarrah in hows karen de its fine. Thats not illegal. Once you illegals what went in the book, thats the crime your session, youre saying trump is seemingly unaware of that. I dont think that early at this this photo was taken according in david pecker, trump is asking him with all the worlds problems that he must be shoulders and the white house place thats david pecker, nothing illegal not saying its illegal. Im just saying hes hes in the white house and hes concerned about Karen Mcdougal and ishee going to make my point is is talking about all right there i think anderson cooper, i think theyre gonna have a very hard my time proving that donald trump said in the logbook in our office, which were not presenting to anyone, put it down this way, so it goes that way. He just says michael, i spoke to weisselberg, whos also a jareh jail, right . Dont try to the principle is saying, oh, lets pay in cash lets paying cash, want the world to note, right . So he probably, what he very well might like if hes so concerned about it being paid in cash maybe you would want to run down the other things that care carrot just mentioned that that came into evidence today was Donald Trumps sort of indicating he didnt really want to pay this money. He was sort of upset about it. I read that to be one of those pieces of evidence that could go either way, either to this idea that he just doesnt like to hand out his money to anyone in general or that he was upset about paying money when he felt under pressure to do so. I mean, to me that seems to also be something that could that could actually work in his favor was fascinating to it, was listening to everyone. Were unpacking and parsing each word monday morning, quarterbacking these jurors hear it in real time. When you clarified a point of cross examination, you have to wonder the jurors actually picking up on those nuances great. But what are they remembering in these moments . Are they thinking to themselves does the rose garden picture resonate in the same way . Didnt Stormy Daniels boyfriend or where it was saying it. And remember, theyre not just using what they know here at much as we tell jurors do so, wed heard that video or audio tape years ago, Michael Cohen and people who may remember having heard that audiotape. And they remember some of the details of this case. And so i have to wonder what good is gonna happen in the deliberation rooms. Are they as focused and looking at the nuance or is it the advantage that offense to keep them from stipulating so they have every mundane detail you remember, the cspan executive, you remember the time to get this document then in that document and because the more they have to add that kitchen sink, thats a form of delay. This can also be why the prosecutions tactic of sort of painting a very broad picture of What Kind Of World was donald trump and what kind of person was donald trump . Because if youre a juror, youre probably sitting there thinking, who does that, right . Like, every time Something Like that comes up there, just thinking, wait a second. Who does that . That is probably at the end of the day. What is going to drive their big picture understanding of what kind of person is donald trump, what kind of business was he engaged in . What would he really have parted ways with this kind of money without knowing what it was for. Arthur. Arthur has over 30,000 right now im laura were going to take a break. Well see whos left after the cachin on hand it out much more head, including some key moments from the Trial Transcript that weve just gotten, including the defenses effort to take attention away from Stormy Daniels and down trumps apparent desire to fireball by her silence and put the scrutiny and set on Michael Cohen and Keith Davidson who made the deal happy with i love your dress thanks i splurged a little because Liberty Mutual customize my Car Insurance and i saved hundreds.

Weve just gotten from the Trial Transcript in crossexamination today, the defense tried to suggest that Keith Davidson wasnt extortionist for selling the silence of his clients, Stormy Daniels and Karen Mcdougal, and they tried to paint trump fixer, Michael Cohen, as driven by his own ambition as weve been talking about non his bosss orders more now on what the Trial Transcript reveals about both john bermans back with that. So Michael Cohen had many alleged complaints in his conversations with Keith Davidson, including about getting compensated so Keith Davidson recounts on the stand a conversation that he says he had with Michael Cohen. This was during the transition davidsons in a Department Store in december, i guess, of 2020, and he says, quote, he said something to the effect of jesus christ. Can you effing believe im not going to washington after everything ive done for that i think gae i cant believe im not going to washington. Ive saved that guys asieh so many times. You dont even know Prosecutor Says and did in davids as is and then and then question is, im sorry, i didnt mean to interrupt you. Davidson says and then he made reference to he said, you know, i never even got paid that fin guy is not even paying me back the 130,000 and then they made clear the hundred 30,000 that theyre talking about, what do you mean by that last part . I never got paid, repaid the uh, hundred and 30,000 from the deal with Stormy Daniels. So again, we have there is complaining about the money, but also good plenty about not going to wash to not getting appointed to a job somewhere in the trump administration. I remember that though, because Michael Cohen was devastated. And what what Keith Davidson testified to his correct . But he thought he would be Attorney General or Chief Of Staff or some prominent role in the Michael Cohen thought he would be attorney yeah. Okay. Good lets not forget that i mean im know what entirely possible trump won the election. I mean, the figures that were going in and out of trump tower that people that he wanted to see where Michael Cohen is someone who wanted to always elevate himself and trump size. He had a lunch with mark cuban and he had them said paparazzi there. So trump would see him having lunch with mark cuban and so he was always someone who thought that trump would be loyal back dam and i think thats really also the tail of what were seeing here, which is we only know this because Michael Cohen said a lot of this publicly, even though people discredit him, i understand that. But Michael Cohen camp in forward and flipped on trump, even though trump was once confident, its something its a known quantity now, the breakdown in the relationship, but for people who knew them, i mean, Michael Cohen is someone who is completely loyal to donald trump and did not get that loyalty back and retard, of course, he he must have known that that was a possibility because he taped that call yeah. I mean, he taped the call for a reason then probably to substantiate that the agreement had been made, but also to ensure that it was on the record that he had put this money down for donald trump so the idea that Michael Cohen, from the beginning kind of questioned whether trump would be good for his his side of the deal, the mind one in an all of it, i think was always there. He always suspected that trump would tell us wife about this i mean, hes calling Keith Davidson. Im not sure. Many other people knew that Michael Cohen actually had done this at that time. Rudy giuliani obviously later knew because he said it on fox news. But mecole wife didnt even know that this had occurred. That works two ways. Remember, we heard the testimony from the banker to suggest that he had a certain amount of Money In The Bank and then he wanted to match that because his wife buckle cohens wife, looked at all the finances and he was trying to be very secretive its about all these different aspects of it. Now, if youre the defense, how are you going to use that youre going to say this man has lied to every branch of government and his wife, but you want it to believe him, right now. But if you are the prosecution, think about your working backwards, youre thinking about your closing argument, how to sum out some, all things have happened here one thing you want to sum up is the use of the word that berman just read repaid, not i thought if i did this, he might do this. He hasnt even repaid me and you combine the word repaid with the audio tape has been recorded, is just that there has been some meeting of the minds between donald trump and Michael Cohen when about an event that would take place. And then he did not make good on his promise. Remember, when is he saying this . Can you believe im not going to go to the white house with him. Hes won an election but the damage has been, at least not done, but it has been contained. And so you add all know that the crime is called. Are not the crime. In other words, hearing thank you. Prove all day long that he paid 130,000 in cash and checked and credit card thats not the crime. And anderson. Okay. We had some fun with the cash part, but think about it. If youre paying for a Confidentiality Agreement, thats the legal term. Hush money is based media, but the legal terms of Confidentiality Agreement typically you dont want to be what a big track record of what heres a check for 130,000 to Stormy Daniels floating around the universe like really wanted 30,000 thats why attorney should not have had them talking in front of the courthouse one point in time. Remember, this last week, donald trump comes out and tries to, try to create and fighting the conversation suggests all ive done right all the time is i wrote on a memo line for Legal Services. I paid an attorney for Legal Services by way that could possibly come back to haunt him. Why . Because what ive just said if the agreement was made and now the Mission Accomplished is that i have won the election and the purpose of having to repay you is now about what ive written in the Business Records. I no longer have the same level of exposure, so they have to crack that all together. Youre right in isolation in a vacuum. You cannot just sort of pick and choose and say, aha, this one sentence but the cumulative aspect for this Prosecution Point by point is what theyre going towards for that falsified Business Records. And again, that youre trying to hide an underlying crime. And remember, this is what the prosecution is going to hope to do is say, this is mostly a documents okay. Great. Is that the checks exist . The checks to Stormy Daniels exist and the checks to come to pay Michael Cohen back exist. The Business Records exist where the payments are characterized as as legal fees the only issue in the case ultimately, as you keep pointing out, is donald, did donald trump no that these false indications are on the Business Records and the second part, and theyre being used to commit another crime in other words, they cant he cant just be that its on the books. Thats statute of limitations. Now. Thats a misdemeanor. Thats gone. Its gotta be. Yes, donald trump knew it was on the books and then knew it was in furtherance of another crime. Its pieces that but thats the easy part because that other crimes is campaign. Everybody know which one state of federal we have. It could be both. It doesnt matter. It doesnt matter. Does it matter that the record Business Records, i mean, isnt the defense arguing these are personal records that these are not Business Records submitted to the irs. These are internal for an trump coming its still a crime. It still doesnt have to be. It doesnt have to be submitted to be like an ira since point hes not charged with filing a false ensured. That is another crime. He is not charged with that. Its falsifying Business Records, which as you correctly pointing out, its an internal document i mean, not that he gave it to the federal Election Committee or the irs or anyone else here are hundreds of crimes that hes not charged with, but he actually is charged with the one that is a crime. But anderson making a valid point. In other words, its not that he leave someone fill this out and submitted and said this is the truth. It was in a desk in someones desk, in a ledger in an office. But the state of new york has decided that it is a crime. Its to have a false, just to be clear, its a misdemeanor that at this point is barred by the statute of limitations and it only comes to life if they can prove that it was in furtherance of another crime and ellie always say about the tape, about Michael Cohen, one of the first questions im one of the first areas on crossexamination is how many times have you recorded donald trump . Because ill bet the hundred and 30,000 i got in my pocket. That thats not the only time he recorded a really good question. Now, how many other times hes hes done this to a degree because to me if youre the prosecution, what you want, what you want to indicate is that Michael Cohen knew that what he was doing, first of all, was shady he, wanted it on tape that he was doing it for trump with trumps knowledge and the election looms large over that. And if they can substantiate that, the reason he was worried about getting this on tape, maybe this will come out when microcode takes the stand is because the stakes here i recorded all my conversation and so candidate would be since i recorded all my im just valid question. I mean Attorney Client point. But maybe not. But i think valid question that. I think Michael Cohen will have to heal, have to explain why in that particular moment it was important to tape it and it seems to me the president ial election is not irrelevant in that conversation. I say, one other thing is that, is it youre talking about this being a documents case. It may be. And it may be very dry, but there are a lot of moments when the prosecution is getting stuff in there. Thats not dry at all in this in the control, im just, you know, this is what graphic number three is for the 9 00 hour here it has to do with the relationship that Stormy Daniels had with donald trump were allegedly right. And they get this into evidence here today. Steinglass, the prosecutor asks, so let me direct you to two parts. In particular, this is of a statement that Stormy Daniels and Keith Davidson crafted the first two sentences when it states that she is daniels was contacted by certain news outlets alleging she had a sexual and or romantic affair with donald trump many, many years ago. And then it states that thats absolutely false. How was that technically correct . The prosecutor asks davidson responds, well, i think you have to hone in on the definition of romantic or sexual, and affair. The Prosecutor Says, okay. Can you explain that davidson says, well, i dont think that anyone had ever alleged that any interaction between sheet and mr. Trump was romantic and then steinglass says, okay, how about sexual and the davidson responds, well, that would be a sexual or romantic. So yes, this may be a documents case, but there has to be a reason the prosecution is doing everything they can to show there is some pretty simi behavior. There was also something in the transcripts understand about Keith Davidson and his surprise on Election Night that donald trump had one, what did he say that night . Theres, a text Message Exchange between Keith Davidson and dylan howard, who of course work for david pecker. And just to really quickly through this, this is the First Exchange in a text. Davidson says, yes, what did you say . Davidson says, what have we done steinglass, the Prosecutor Says, what did you mean by that, mr. Davidson . Davidson says, well, that was sort of a Gallows Humor and it was on Election Night as a result, were coming in and there was a source of pride amongst the broadcasts and others at donald trump was leading in the polls and there was a growing sense that folks were about to be ready to call the election. The Prosecutor Says, and you referred to it as Gallows Humor. Can you explain that a little more . What did you mean . Why did you say what have we done davidson, he says, i think there was an unjust standing. This is a text between dylan howard and i, and there was an understanding that our efforts may have in some way, i should strike that. That our activities may have in some way assisted the president ial campaign of donald trump an important well, i mean, part of the charges in this case is that all of these transactions, all of this money was ultimately to benefit Donald Trumps campaign. And what they are saying is my god, it worked. And thats part of the case. Some berman thanks very much for the transcripts coming up. The former president uses his for weekday this week to campaign in wisconsin and revive an old threat. How that could tie into this trial has formed White House Communications director joins us now how wed really happy with jesse l. Martin sundays at nine on cnn.

He finds him itself at odds with. And on recent day off, he expressed a similarly dark view of the electoral process. If things dont go his way by his lights, the former president was campaigning wednesday, his off day in wisconsin, just outside of milwaukee. He also gave an interview to the local newspaper, the journal ill sentinel. And for the third president ial campaign in a row, he began Laying Groundwork for not accepting the results of this novembers election he said this of the upcoming wisconsin vote, quote, if everythings honest, ill gladly at least accept the results. If its not, you have the fight, you have to fight the right for the right of the country, which raises the question, of course, what happens if this trial doesnt turn out in his favor . Joining our panel, former Communications Director and the trump white house. So listen far griffin i dont think it surprises you that he would say this a third time about this upcoming election, but remarkable to see him just boldly saying that, well, and whats also remarkable is this trial, which is incredibly important is happening. But in some ways it kinda superseded this incredible time interview that donald trump gave in his own words, which is laying out verbatim what aids like myself have warned for the last four years that a second term would be mass deportations, Detention Camps for undocumented migrants in the country, weaponizing the Department Of Justice going after political adversaries, and just really paying this picture of a fundamentally unamerican second term, hes also openly talking about about contesting Election Results before even having them. I worry that in this moment that were in these very scary things arent getting quite the attention that they can. Were living in such a fastpaced media environment. I dont necessarily see the Biden Campaign paying doing enough to really raise the stakes here and say this is how dangerous this moment is. Its yes, he will absolutely contest the results of the election. Did it once before. So hes raised the bar so high for based on everything hes always said that at a certain point, it just becomes noise. I go, yeah, of course he would say this and people dont even pay attention. People do tune it out. Yeah. Ill never forget when trump was asked it in the Briefing Room that de and he equivocated and wouldnt say whether or not he would accept the results of the election. It was the middle of covid thats what everyone is primarily asking questions about. And that was the first time he had said it in such a public forum. I know he had said it in 2016 and he had referenced it before. But this is donald trump. This is what he does. He did this in the town a year ago. He said, ill accept the results of the next election if its an honest election. The person who decides that in trumps mind is donald trump. Just point out that what he said in that interview is almost word for word, what he said on the ellipse on january 6, you have to fight and about an election result. You dont like and they fought at the capitol on january 6, hes saying the same thing. Yeah and expecting presumably the same result. I didnt want its also the court. What are you saying in court, right. If he will, his acceptance is always contingent on a result being favorable. Right . Its only going to be a fair system. Were a fair trial or a fair jury if it results in what he believes to be, it should be an acquittal lets play with what he said after courts well, im not allowed to test if i am under a gag order i guess i cant even testified now were gonna be appealing the games im not allowed to testify because this judge whos totally conflicted has been under a unconstitutional gag order. Nobodys ever had that before obviously, that is false. Todd blanche is pretty action is somebody there was sort of like a nod and then i can use oh, and then a yes and my heart breaks for him for todd because ive been in those positions where you have a client larger than life, but not in this league, former president all right. I just said not in that league. Yeah. But okay. But mr. Weinstein had a lot to say, mr. Herschel, that is a lot. See, Rudy Giuliani has allowed to say Alan Dershowitz as a lot, say anthony, we now lets say roger, else that a lot to say so yeah, ive had some clients, by the way, ive had a lot of all those suffering in the world. I think your heart could break for some others time in that position but made his choices yes. I agree with you. But when you have a guy like that saying something thats ridiculous on two levels, theres never been a gag order like that before. Thats ridiculous. Thats not true and i can testify quiz to the gag order. Thats elementary knowledge. My highschool sudden those that you are allowed to testify, thats not true. So you sit there like a mac as youre okay, mr. President. But i mean, those words to come out of his mouth are ridiculous. I think the other thing just to merge the two story lines here trump fundamentally is always trying to break down the institutions any system, any procedure, any process that is unfavorable to him is fundamentally unfair in his view. That goes for elections, that goes for this court in manhattan that goes for the court in georgia. It goes for the court in florida where hes being tried in the documents case. So knowing that when it comes to the elections which is really the whole ball game what does the country do when hes basically saying what hes what his game plan is Going Forward when asked republicans, as im sure, all of us will over the next six months. What are you going to do different this time around compared to the last time around when he laid the predicate for january 6, if the answer is were gonna do the same thing we did last time, which is basically say that this is Donald Trumps rhetoric and it doesnt matter that i think tells us everything we need to know about whats going to happen Going Forward. It has not seemed to me like Establishment Republicans or whoever else in the Republican Party who are the ones who ultimately will have to make their choices here. Their behavior is not really changing. And so it suggests that donald trump is just gonna kinda play the same playbook. And it might have the same result, except that this time around, people are more ready for it. Well, i mean, caitlin spoke to senator jd vance last night, and also i want to play this for you because she she asked him if Terms Treatment of mike pence on january 6 gave him any pauses. This is what he said caitlin, im extremely skeptical that mike pences life was ever in danger. I think politics and politics people like to really exaggerate things from time to time a lot of party senator, a lot of folks in the democratic party, kaitlan, act as if January The 6th was the scariest moment of their lives i think look, january 6 was a bad day. It was a riot, but the idea that donald trump endangered anyones lives when he told them to protest peacefully. Its just absurd i mean, obviously, writers were Chanting Hang mike pence. Its just stunning. I mean, yes, Riders Channing Hang mike pence, gallows being erected on the south lawn. I know mike pences security detail. Ive traveled the world with them. They do not mess around. Ive spoken to them after january 6, they feared for his life and mike pence chose not to stay even though he was out risk. They relocated him. It is just a rewriting of history, j. D. Vance knows thats not true. And by the way, is somebody whos been on the Receiving End of Death Threats from maga world, it should not be stunning think to anyone that people would threaten somebody for going against donald also, theres videos of other republican senators who were there that day running from the rioters as they were breaking in. And i thought whats so interesting, and this is important for people who dont know is a j. D. Vance is on Donald Trumps v the shortlist. He is someone who could be in the role that mike pence was on that day . Hes made clear he would not do what mike pence did and stand in the way of sending the fake slates of electors to congress. He believes congress should fight that out, essentially define the constitution. And i just think it speaks to the moment of what hes in and the question was, does it give you any pause . How trump is treated . Mike pence, a lifelong conservative, and didnt even call mike pence that day when he was up there and mike pence has said that donald trump put his life in danger, also his family who was with him. So hes made that clear, but it does speak to abbys point about who is going to be around donald trump . If he is if he is going to be potentially put back in the white house it could be people who say they wont stop at this point. Mrs. Perspective, by the way, as youre talking about it, this Supreme Court right now, that is deliberating as to whether he would have immunity absolute immunity so weve talked about who would surround a future president or somebody who might return to the oval office if it president has absolute immunity, it doesnt matter who is to his left, more whose to his right or anyone because no one above them thats the whole point the law would even be below him and thats part of what the consideration is Going Forward. Remember, there are asking for condition tional, the way he talks about conditional are asking for absolute immunity, and all that is being contemplated. Did nine justices have to consider it stay with us coming up, who will testify next still a lot of big names to hear from, including someone once considered to be one of the former president s most trusted aides in the white house.

Take control by asking your doctor about in grad sack and suspicion is building for who we may hear from him tomorrow is hearing and whether therell be any of the highprofile witnesses to come, including possibly former white house counselor hope hicks, once considered one of the foreign presence closest confidantes and most trusted aides back here with the team in new york when whos on the sand tomorrow, who starts off tomorrow . Do we know they havent said for sure they dont announce this obviously publicly, but what theyve been doing is folding in the super interesting juicy witnesses. Would those who bring the records, i think it could be more of the records people potentially im truly but i do think after that there is an open question of who fits next in this narrative hope hicks has been widely speculated about choice. We dont know that it is going to be her, but in that audio tape that they played in the courtroom today, it does. I believe you can hear her voice in the background. She was obviously around for those key conversations with Michael Cohen, so she could be a natural fit potential was how or hope hicks and Kellyanne Conway seen in trump world today so two very different figures on hope i started with their boat since i didnt the white house, she had one focus. Shes not ideological. Shes not particularly partisan. Parole in the white house was to protect donald trump at all costs. She sees herself as a trump loyalist. First and foremost, im a little surprised that there has been some kind of media scuttle, but that perhaps shes really going to turn on him and this is going to be a big moment where she reveals what he did wrong. I think shes going to tell the truth as instructed by her attorneys, but i think she will stay very well within the lines of anything she she wont want to say anything thats incriminating to the former president and Kellyanne Conway. I mean, shes still clings to the inner circle. Shes from a certain perspective advising the campaign, right now. I dont know that either are a slam dunk for the prosecution in any sense. Yeah. I mean, in many ways, think about why youd want her remember, they cannot play the access Hollywood Tape they are not allowed to its two prejudicial according to the judge, they can reference the fallout from the access Hollywood Tape for Framing Purposes of the prosecution, you want to make the connection that the reason why he was motivated to try to falsify it business record, or even pay this person differently than he had to have Karen Mcdougal was because they were concerned about the impact to the campaign from the fallout of the access Hollywood Tape. So if youve got emails, if youve got discussions, if youve got communications with hope hicks as the Connecting Dot between the campaign and the fallout of Access Hollywood to where we are now. Thats when theyre most useful. And she need not frankly, even be somebody to turn on trump or to me or to turn against him she asked to be somebody to say, well, look, it was contemplated the fallout was major. We thought there was a chance that if there was one more straw that fell on perhaps the evangelical vote are back, or the women voters back, or just the electoral voters in general that could have been the end of the campaign. Thats the concern you have to convey. I think one of the most interesting questions about the prosecution is this point is do they call Karen Mcdougal and even do they call Stormy Daniels . Thats because thats a great point. Do you think they need to as a technical legal matter . I dont think so. I mean, the checks have been introduced. The purpose behind the checks have been introduced and so they dont have to prove that the sex took place. Thats not part of the case. And they may think that the prosecutors may think this is too much of a spectacle, too much of a sideshow. And so i dont know. I mean, i think Stormy Daniels is likely because it is her transaction that is really in the heart of this case. But Karen Mcdougal, its its essentially Background Information the prosecution has has already put forward all about the transaction. I dont know if they need her. So before i get to that point, when you talk about tomorrow, its all about strategy, right . And when youre a Defense Attorney youre exhausted, you youre literally exhausted. And if you put on the prosecution puts on a key witness tomorrow on Friday The Defense has saturday, sunday to see okay. This is the direct theyre going to have daily copy and then could really prepare very well for the crossexamination on monday. So when i was a prosecutor, i tried to put on nonsensical went no big deal. Witnesses, but i do on a friday. On a friday. So that i dont give the advantage of his attorney to have that weekend prep what jeffrey is saying though, is, ive been thinking about that. Do they really need Stormy Daniels . But if you give the defense the opportunity to go up there and say, i am as Defense Attorney, i am telling you my client is always said he didnt have sex with Stormy Daniels, and this was a shakedown. These were absolutely false allegations, and this is on aid just paid this money just to even if it was for the president ial election it changes. Now he really is a victim of extortion. So i think theyre going to have to bring her in and shes going to say, yes, we had sex where when as a Defense Attorney, you would and you are representing trump, you would not want Stormy Daniels and Karen Mcdougal to testify . Correct. But yeah, what you dont have to remember, one of the objections that came during the opening, which we all know Opening Statement ejections are pretty rare. You want to have everyone have their Flow One Dot Comment that instantly got sustained by the judge was was alluding that stormy was an extortionist. Thats Something Like the judge is going to have on a very tight leash. Number one. Number two, it really doesnt matter if they actually were engaged in a sexual affair, anything any more than it matters whether at that time and his gosh, with billy bush, he really did grab him by the pi all that matters is the fallout and the idea of whether it would impact how he was perceived enough to motivate him to make a payment and falsified may ask you just in terms of the impressions to the jury, if they hear that donald trump has denied even knowing keratin going to go or denied. And you already have testimony from david pecker saying he would ask about Karen Mcdougal repeatedly calling her our girl in karen saying shes a nice girl does it help to actually have them on the stand to tell their sayyed the story and the jury, then if they believe those two, then they are less likely to believe donald trump. Well, yeah, hes lying about that. I mean, yes. But it also as a strategic reason even though i know conceptually, i dont need to have this to check off the boxes to maybe movement make my elements. Ive got a jury whose leaning into the most, i want them in the palm of my hand to be leaning in to know on these moments what youre hearing is so important. Number one, number two, its going to look bad for the prosecution. You mean theres all this talk about Michael Collins or manuals . I dont call them a juror is going to think themselves well, hold on. Why or why are we not hearing from them . And you have to play to that same level thats a risk for the prosecution if they dont Defense Attorney my summation where all used to be underscore just the differences between Karen Mcdougal and Stormy Daniels. I think come into play here. Karen mcdougals relationship with trump is much more of a relationship, right . Stormy daniels, theres debate about whether or reduce that she was in love with me. Yeah. Exactly. So i think that that that also is going to come into play too, in terms of trumps credibility and denying these affairs, want to thank everybody the news continues, so deserve special primetime, Cnn Trial Coverage right after a short break welcome to the roots of our legacy.
